Question:
How would I write a script that runs once, and ONLY once a day when the user starts their machine. The problem is if they reboot at any time through out the day, I do not want the script to run again.

Answer:

Put the following script in the Windows | startup subdirectory.....

A Timer Script to Start once a day upon startup:

myinifile = "OnceADay.ini"
now = TimeYMDHMS()
today = StrSub(now, 1, 10)
test = IniReadPvt("MAIN", "OnceADay", 0, myinifile)
if test == today then exit
IniWritePvt("MAIN", "OnceADay", today, myinifile)
;<<<<<< DO STUFF HERE >>>>>>>
exit
